Not actually needing to work is both a blessing and a curse. It makes me better at my job because of lower stress......

But it makes it really hard to get up and go in to work in the morning.

Blue sky or gray sky?

And yeah, I know I overdid the blue but I only downloaded Lightroom this morning so I know not of what I am doing.

Wee bit pissed I didn't adjust the polarizer better on that shot. It was somewhat of an afterthought photo, but I like it.

Blue, unless you are going to blow it up so big it is grainy. Grey's look cool blown up IMHO, blues look like yuk.

Loving light room? I hope it my review and rec lives up to the hype I gave it.

It's got a little bit of an HDR feel to it.

The blue does make it look like it's vignetting worse than it is because of the lowlights of the clouds hitting the corners.

Sometimes good shots do that. Especially on water. It might also be the compressed size. Sometimes that can make colors "bigger" than they are.

And I overblued the contrast in the sky. All HDR feel from LR dynamic range optimizing only

Thing that looks strange to me is that the white & blue of the clouds is somewhat switched.

Also might have been better if it were more underexposed initially.

I can't tell from the phone.

Overcast days give that really "flat" light which is often considered ideal. From here it looks fantastic, butmaybe you are looking to bring back something your eye saw that iI ddon't have a frame of reference to.

Eye of the beholder and all that.

Yuk. We may need to refinance our house and use all the equity on the rental to afford these payments.
